F Pre-Event, During-Event, and Post-Event Safety Checks 3

Question 1

A fire guard's pre-event checklist should include verifying that all of the following are operational EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

Karaoke machine

Answer

The pre-event checklist covers fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, emergency lighting, exit signs, fire extinguishers, and exit doors — all life safety systems, not entertainment equipment.

Question 2

During an event, a fire guard notices a DJ has run extension cords across an emergency exit. What immediate action is needed?

Accepted Answer

Have the cords rerouted immediately — they cannot cross an exit path

Answer

Extension cords across exit paths create both a trip hazard and potentially block egress. They must be rerouted immediately, regardless of impact on the event.

Question 3

How should a fire guard handle a cooking demonstration using open flames at a place of assembly?

Accepted Answer

Ensure proper permits, fire extinguishers nearby, safe distances from combustibles, and continuous monitoring

Answer

Open flame demonstrations may be permitted with proper FDNY permits and safety measures: appropriate extinguishers nearby, safe clearance from combustibles, and continuous monitoring by the fire guard.

Question 4

During the post-event check, a fire guard discovers a small area of smoldering material in a trash container. What should they do?

Accepted Answer

Extinguish it immediately using water or an appropriate extinguisher

Answer

Smoldering material must be extinguished immediately. The fire guard should use water or an appropriate extinguisher, then monitor the area to ensure the material doesn't reignite.

Question 5

What should a fire guard document during the mid-event patrol?

Accepted Answer

Exit accessibility, occupant behavior, equipment status, and any hazards observed

Answer

Mid-event patrols should document the status of exits and aisles, any observed hazards, fire equipment condition, occupant count observations, and any violations or corrective actions taken.
